The trophy will go on a four-day tour, starting in Pretoria and then going on to Johannesburg. It will proceed to Cape Town and Durban before stopping in East London on Saturday.

Mambush Rooi said:

“They must also come to Taung because the support here was magnificent.”

Mahula Petra Tjatji added:

“A nine-day tour will be better. All provinces deserve it.”

Lethu Shukuma was upset.

“As if they were supported by populated areas. This is written by ANC all the way.”

Maureen Thogwa added:

“I hope this time they will come to Gauteng and Limpopo, not only Port Elizabeth.”

Otlotleng Kabelo Segone asked:

“My question is, in 2019 they went only to four provinces to show them the World Cup trophy. Even this year, they’re still going to the same provinces. Are the rest of the provinces not part of South Africa?”

Yagha Yaya Abrahams remarked:

“Hopefully, they will come to Paarl also because there are about five to six Paarl players on that team.”

Khosi Marume was appalled.

“You see now? There are nine provinces in the country, but it will just be showcased in the Western Cape and Gauteng."
